Every week our square-eyed reporters take a look at what’s on TV – the highlights and the lowlights – and pick what they think you should watch or avoid.

The Secret Millionaire, Channel Four, Sunday, 9pm

The programme which shows the more charitable and caring side of some of the country’s rich and not-so-famous citizens returns to our screens this weekend.

Expect emotions to run high when hairdresser Adee Phelan (pictured), who once lowered the ears of a certain David Beckham, returns to his native Essex to help financially improve the lives and fortunes of good causes and community heroes.

Visiting the Brooklands area of the county – originally designed in the 1920s as a holiday retreat for Londoners – Mr Phelan begins his search to find the people who he believes can benefit from his generosity the most.

And who said that money is the (hair) root of all evil?

Beverly Hills Cop, Film Four, Friday, 9pm

Expect humour and homicide in equal abundance when comedy copper Axel Foley returns to the small screen this weekend in the 1984 smash-hit movie.

If he’s not tearing up the streets of Detroit in unauthorised police operations, Foley – played by a young Eddie Murphy – is taking the law into his own hands when he tries to track down the people responsible for killing his friend.

Which, of course, leads us to downtown Los Angeles and the mother of all henchmen, Victor Maitland, a – clears throat – wealthy, English, international arts dealer.

He is not only responsible for the murder of his friend’s death, but for a multi-million pound drugs empire.

Fist-fights, foul language and felonies ensue. This smash-hit movie has it all and is a must watch for those with no plans on Friday night.

Critics have panned this early 1980s blockbuster as the brainchild to all comedy police films made since.

However, I consider it to be probably the best film of its kind, but then I am easily pleased.

I’ll let you, the viewer, decide for yourself.

Motorway Cops, BBC One, Monday, 9pm

OH yes, the return of autumn means one thing: early week prime-time schedules welcome back documentaries following the work of Her Majesty’s police force.

For this particular programme, former Live and Kicking presenter Jamie Theakston (I’d rather it was Gordon the Gopher) provides commentary as a camera crew follow the blue lights and two-tones patrolling Britain’s motorways.

Misdemeanours captured this week include a car thief trying to make an escape in Birmingham and a gang of drug dealers who are seen trying two throw away their wares from a car window as the police make their pursuit.

And don’t forget, of course, the teenage tearaway who did not know it is a legal requirement to have passed their driving test and obtained a licence before getting behind the wheel and smashing up their parents’ prized wheels.

You have just got to love a bit of road rage.

71 Degrees North, ITV1, Tuesday, 9pm

You might want to wrap up warm or sit back with a hot drink to watch this one.

A team of ‘celebrities’ – if we can call them that – have been sent to the furthest point in northern Europe in an effort to be crowned champion of extreme outdoor pursuit.

Paired into two teams, the famous friends are tasked with a number of challenges in perilous situations, and in temperatures 35ºC below zero, in an effort to reach 71 degrees north, but more importantly – enjoy a night in the warmth.

Watching a ‘celeb’ struggling in the cold, swimming in ice cold waters wearing nothing but a swimming costume with the only hospitality being a tent? I’m in!
